These figures show, perhaps more than any others, the
advantage of ionization. Many of the cases responding to one
application had previously received prolonged treatment with
drops.

Table XXII, which includes all cases from the commencement
of the Clinic, shows the number of cases recommended for
other remedial measures with or without ionization and the
number obtaining treatment or refusing.
RHEUMATISM CLINIC
This Clinic continued its work among school children
throughout the year. The work has been impeded by economic
pressure from without, only one session per fortnight being
devoted to the work instead of 2 as formerly.
The bulk of the children seen at this Clinic have been drawn
from school children coming under medical inspection either at
school or at the Inspection Clinic, but some cases have been
referred from the Tuberculosis Dispensary, and a few from
Maternity and Child Welfare Centres.
General practitioners have sent a few cases for supervision,
and some have also been sent from Hospital Out-patient Departments.
